Deploy in under a minute. Run everything from a browser.
No cables to run, no servers to configure, no IT department needed. Download an ISO, burn it to a USB or boot from your network, and every device shows up in your dashboard automatically. Start diagnostics, wipes, and grading without leaving your chair.
Boot from a USB drive, no operating system required
Plug in. Power on. That's it.
Most diagnostic tools require a working operating system already installed on the device under test. That is not how ITAD works. The machines coming in are often wiped, broken, or off-lease with no OS at all.
reCore provides a bootable ISO image. Download it, burn it to a USB drive using any tool like Rufus or balenaEtcher, plug it into any machine, and power it on. The device boots directly into reCore and appears in your dashboard within seconds. No installation, no configuration, no IT setup.
- Works on any machine, whatever OS was installed before, or none at all
- Burn the ISO once using any standard tool (Rufus, balenaEtcher, or similar)
- Supports both modern UEFI and older Legacy BIOS machines from a single USB
- From power-on to ready-to-process in under a minute on most hardware
- Each technician can carry their own drive. No per-drive licensing or registration
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Download the ISO | Get the latest reCore ISO from your account |
| 2. Burn to USB | Rufus, balenaEtcher, or any ISO burner. Takes under 5 minutes |
| 3. Plug in and power on | Insert into any machine and select USB from the boot menu |
| 4. Dashboard connects | The device appears live in your dashboard, ready to process |
Network boot via PXE
No USB. No media. No prep.
If you have a facility with a local server already running, there is no need to hand a USB drive to every technician. reCore supports network booting: a machine powers on, loads reCore from your server over the network, and appears in your dashboard automatically.
The entire PXE setup is configured and managed from the reCore browser dashboard. No command line, no manual server configuration. Point your server at the reCore ISO once, and every machine on the network can boot without any physical media involved.
- Configure and manage network boot entirely from the browser dashboard, no technical setup
- One server serves unlimited machines at the same time
- No USB drives to manage, lose, damage, or keep up to date
- Ideal for high-volume facilities with dedicated bench rows
- Identical to USB boot: same features, same dashboard connection
| Deployment method | Best for | Physical media needed |
|---|---|---|
| USB (ISO burn) | Any facility, mobile setups, small teams | One USB per technician |
| PXE network boot | High-volume facilities with a local server | None |
| Installed client | Permanent Windows workstations | None |
Persistent WiFi: enter the password once
Stored securely across every reboot.
Most bootable environments are stateless. Every reboot wipes everything: WiFi passwords, network preferences, any configuration you set the last time. In a facility processing 50 devices a day, that means entering the WiFi password 50 times a day.
reCore is different. WiFi credentials are saved to the USB drive and automatically restored on every boot. Set up the network connection once during your first boot, and it holds from then on. Every machine, every technician, every day.
- WiFi credentials survive every reboot. Enter them once and forget about it
- Saves multiple networks and picks the right one automatically on each boot
- Client software updates preserve your saved WiFi
- No IT involvement needed to reconfigure network access after a client update
| Standard bootable ISO | reCore ISO | |
|---|---|---|
| WiFi password | Re-enter every single boot | Saved permanently to drive |
| Network setup | Lost on reboot | Persists across all reboots |
| First-boot effort | Repeated every time | One-time only |
| Multiple networks | Manual each time | Auto-selects known network |
Run diagnostics, wipes, and grading from a browser
No software to install on any device.
Traditional ITAD tools require someone to be at the machine to start a test, approve a wipe, or assign a grade. With reCore, none of that requires physical presence.
Starting tests, running wipes, reviewing results, approving certificates, generating reports: all of it happens from a browser tab, from anywhere. The technician boots the machine. Everything after that can be orchestrated remotely by a supervisor, QC reviewer, or admin without ever being at the bench.
- Start and monitor full diagnostic runs without touching the device
- Remotely trigger a data wipe on any connected machine from any browser
- Review results and assign grades from the office while technicians work the floor
- Approve or reject wipe certificates without being physically present
- Manage technicians, create batches, and pull reports from any device
- Works on any browser, with no software to install on your management machine
| What you can do remotely | What is not required |
|---|---|
| Start diagnostics on any connected device | Being at the bench |
| Trigger and monitor data wipes | Physical access to the machine |
| Review results and assign grades | Any on-site management workstation |
| Approve certificates and generate reports | VPN, remote desktop, or special software |
| Manage your team and track performance | IT support or configuration |
Instant dashboard updates
Sub-second from device to screen.
Many platforms show you a snapshot of your operation that is several seconds out of date. You click refresh, or wait for the page to auto-update, and by then the information has already changed again. When you are managing a batch of 30 or 40 devices at once, that lag adds up fast.
The reCore dashboard updates in less than half a second. The moment something happens on the floor, it shows up in your browser. No refresh button. No delay. What you see is exactly what is happening right now.
- A device that boots and connects appears in your dashboard in less than half a second
- A finished test updates its result immediately, no page refresh
- A detected drive shows up in the drive list the moment the machine sees it
- A completed wipe shows its final status instantly
- Scales across hundreds of connected devices with no slowdown
| Event | Typical competitor | reCore |
|---|---|---|
| Device connects | 5 to 10 second delay | Less than half a second |
| Test result arrives | Next page refresh | Immediate |
| Wipe progress | Stale until refreshed | Live, continuous update |
| Certificate ready | Manual check needed | Appears in dashboard automatically |
Automatic client updates on every boot
Always current. Always consistent.
Managing a fleet of USB drives across multiple technicians means keeping every drive current. An outdated drive might be missing new features, running old test logic, or producing certificates that do not match the latest format. Keeping them in sync manually is a real operational burden.
The reCore client updates itself automatically every time it boots. By the time a technician logs in, the drive is always running the latest version. No manual reflashing, no version tracking, no update reminders to send to your team.
- Checks for updates automatically on every boot, no action required from anyone
- Updates download in the background while the technician logs in
- All drives across your entire team stay current without any coordination
- The dashboard shows which version each client is running so you can confirm everything is up to date
- Saved WiFi credentials and preferences carry through updates untouched
